Richman Elementary School

Richman is a hidden gem. As a parent with a child that transferred from a highly rated school in another district, I am truly impressed. The new principal and vice principal are committed to fostering an environment that provides a well rounded learning experience for students. The teacher are motivated and passionate about student learning and engagement. The GATE program has provided a positive and nurturing environment for our child. The campus has many new opportunities for its students including a new street hockey rink, a organic garden for student learning, a new library, and a STEAM center with 3-D printers and a green screen. This a great school with many amazing opportunities.

Richman Teachers are the Best , I have 3 Kids In this school and my son has been here since Kinder and who is now going to 6th grade, and in these years there teachers have always been very helpful and communicative with me as a parent . The passion they have for there job is admiring . I wish my school back in the days would have cared about there students like Richman cares for there students. and all the activities they have ,there so helpful to maintain the students busy and with goals towards their future.

Richman School has done amazing things for the kids that attend. Their STEAM initiative has really changed the teaching and learning.As a parent who chooses to bring them to Fullerton on a transfer, I am extremely pleased with what I see and hear when I visit the classrooms. My oldest has graduated and is ready for middle school because of the instruction and guidance he received there. My daughter will continue to attend as well. I appreciate the dedicated teachers and administration who have high expectations for student learning and behavior.

The teachers seem very involved in their students and parent involvement is encouraged. However, the administration is completely clueless. The principal is clueless and the front office staff is worse. Parents aren't allowed on school campus, but the staff can't answer even the simplest of questions about the school's medication or cafeteria cash balance policies, making it impossible to get answers. Good luck figuring the school out on your own because you won't get any help.
